Students in the program learn key project management fundamentals, how to identify and effectively manage risk, the role of data in project planning and implementation, and communication skills for leaders.

Business-related programs at WashU Continuing & Professional Studies (CAPS) are not accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International) at WashU. Most courses are three units.
This program is offered either mostly or fully online. Students entering the U.S. on an F-1 or J-1 Visa must enroll in a program full time. F-1 students are only permitted to enroll in one online course per semester and J-1 students may only enroll in non-credit online courses that do not count toward their degree program. CAPS cannot guarantee face-to-face enrollment options each semester of full time enrollment, therefore cannot issue an I-20 or DS 2019 to F-1 and J-1 students for this program. If you are an F-1 or J-1 student and wish to enroll in a CAPS program while here on a Visa, please contact our recruitment team to discuss your options for face-to-face program enrollment. F-1 and J-1 students should not enroll in online courses or programs without first consulting the university’s Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS).
